Hi Boaz,

A couple things to check:
1) Check out the file system permissions on the folder /var/lib/samba/netlogon
on the server (cd to /var/lib/samba/ and do an ls -l).  Make sure that everyone
has Read access... it should look something like drwxr-xr-x.  (It should look
the same for stdlogon.bat inside that folder as well, or -rwxr--r-- instead)
2) If that's setup correctly, then, do you have any BDCs setup as well?  If so,
then the login script needs to be in both in the netlogon share for both the PDC
and BDC.

Hopefully that helps...

3) If the file permissions look good and it's the only domain controller,
